A Glock 42?

Yea... the average gun owner is a retard.

Truth.

What people want is .410 revolvers and little credit card-sized .380s. But they don't want to pay a lot for them. Pink or zombie green would be nice.

What they need is to get hit with a sock full of nickels. Just on general principles.

Not much to add, I just like this.^^^

People are indeed funny; most prefer to own many trinkets and few treasures.

Yea... the average gun owner is a retard.

I wouldn't be too hard on gun owners: I've found the same bell curve phenomenon to apply pretty much anywhere else people gather.

Ayuh.

We live in a Wal-Mart world. Folks won't even pay money for decent FOOD, much less tools. Most folks make all purchase decisions based on price.

WORD.

Oh, the joys of being asked, as the local 'gun guy', for a recommendation for a gun. Spending much time discussing the merits of a good 9mm from the tier one makers, and the need for quality training... and they go out and buy a Judge.

Kidding aside, you are probably right. Anyone know or care to guess what Glock's variable cost to produce a pistol is -- I have no idea, but I bet it is well under $50.

With a relatively simple product line, large production quantities relative to most other firearms manufacturers, and being privately owned, I would hate to have to compete with Glock on price.

I'm buying a 50 dollar pistol! outrage! ;D

Not just Glock. I heard a quote attributed to Larry Vickers to the effect of but for another $10 of manufacturing cost, Smith managed to snatch failure from the jaws of victory by cheeping out the M&P semi auto pistol line.

As a CCW instructor I've been asked a hundred times "which gun should I buy", 90 out of 100 times I'll answer "Glock 9mm, either a 19 or a 26", 10 times I'll say "S&W 640 revolver" for those who can't rack a slide.
75 of them will go out and buy a Ruger LCP, 24 will buy a Taurus or Rossi, and 1 guy buys a XD-45...
